Can you unload a table? If so, could UNLOAD
ALL help?

Thanks Alastair,
I did run reload and it went
off into neverland.
When I stopped it, a 23mb data base was up 1.2GB and
still growing.
Autochk had about 13,000 plus errors. If they hadn't reloaded,
then File one would have matched File two fairly well. Years ago I was able to
get some data out of a system by jumping into file two, find the begin of a row,
and then go up/back to find the beginning of the table, and reset the first row
point in File one. A slow process indeed. I suspect I'll try and get some of the
data out this weekend.

Dennis,
If - and that's a
very big if - the structure has not - and that's an
equally big not - been
changed then you should be able to run a RELOAD and
R:Base will re-set all
the row counts and pointers.
You'll probably get lots of error messages
but as you're creating a new
database you can ignore them and let R:Base
continue without changing your
damaged database. Nevertheless, I would
still ensure that you have another
copy as a backup!
You then need
to check that everything is ok but you should find that you're
in
luck.
Good luck,
Regards,
Alastair.
